Sitting on the edge of 2,000 acres of the Dumfries House estate and only a few hundred metres from Dumfries Houseitself, Dumfries House Lodge is an exclusive 5 star country Guest House offering luxury accommodation. Built in 1750 and in use a few years prior to the completion of Dumfries House, the 'Garden Cottage' as it was known in the 18th century, became the Factor's house and remained so for over 200 years.
We encourage our guests to think of their stay as a home-from-home and to make good use of our facilities during their stay. You will have free and open access to our sitting rooms, dining room and garden area throughout your stay.
The cosy lounge and snug study, both with open log fires, are there for your use throughout the day and evening.
What makes Dumfries House Lodge that little bit different is that guests are encouraged to spend as much time as they wish within the Lodge and make full use of the facilities including the lounge areas, garden and courtyard.
Manned by a small unique team during the day, guests are left to enjoy the Lodge at their own leisure once the last guest has arrived and been settled in by the Lodge staff.
Each of the 22 en suite Guest Rooms has been individually styled with complete comfort in mind and feature carefully selected antique pieces.
Guest Rooms enjoy all the modern facilities including LED Screens, WiFi, luxury Tea/Coffee making facilities and Arran Aromatics Toiletries.

Read All ReviewsI am wheelchair user so require accessible rooms and was given one. The double bed is very comfortable. The room has a large well equipped modern wet room which was great for us. There is ample parking onsite for guests and the layout is such that level access is afforded from the car park to most of the rooms. Every member of staff we met was very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and professional which made us feel welcome.
